It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

As our Director of Product - Data you’llset the data strategy for GWI, deciding what we collect and why. That means prioritising the data points that matter most to our customers, ensuring every one maps to real user needs and business outcomes. You’ll also evolve how our data is structured and delivered, moving from quarterly drops to new insights landing regularly, both inside our platform and through APIs that feed the tools and systems our customers use.

This role will establish strong feedback loops between data and platform to improve how insights are structured, surfaced and applied, bringing a user-first perspective to what we collect and how we deliver it. Your work will ensure that GWI’s proprietary data remains a high-value, trusted asset in every customer decision.

It’s also fun; shaking things up is what working for a growing company is all about. So you’ll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment as we grow.

What do I need to bring with me?

You’ll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tickall the boxes right away; the important thing is that you’re willing to learn. Here’s what the team will be looking for:

API Thinking – You create APIs that are powerful, usable, and well-documented

Leadership – You build high-performing teams and grow talent with clarity and care

Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, exemplified by our leadership team, and they’re a big part of what we’re looking for in you.

Interview steps
